We should not be surprised. I assume this is a right-wing nut driven to this by the rhetoric from many in the Republican Party and allied groups/individuals.

[Chakan]

Only thing i'm surprised about is that it hasn't happened sooner.

I mean they don't know the motivation, so i'll leave my thoughts there until they do decide to give it.

I'm sure the words "mental health" will be spoken quite a bit.

There seems little doubt that, if they could, the Jan 6th insurrectionists would have murdered Nancy Pelosi given the chance.

Oh i'm sure they would have, but right now they don't know why he was attacked, could have been a robbery or whatever, I mean the logical jump is to the crazies who follow trump, but who knows.

[Red Beret]

As unsurprising as it is depressing. Something like this has been on the cards for years.

True. I did allude to that myself. It fits with our fears, so it is all too easy to jump to the wrong conclusion.

[Lone Star Red]

Not surprised, San Francisco has been a crime ridden city going down the shitter for years now.

I’m confused about this, what’s they’re particular beef with Pelosi? Her obvious contempt for Trump or a lack of focal point for their hate, or is there something I’m missing?

She's the speaker of the house, and a woman, and trump hates her.

Any one of those reasons are enough.

You sound like a Trump minion.

Most serious crime per capita murders etc happen in “red states” where the crime rates are rising despite (because of?) the arms proliferation

She's always been out to hammer Trump wherever possible.

Usually for good reason.

That's because I clearly am. Only get my #facts and #news from sources like OAN, NewsMax and Fox.

Bet you wish you were as informed as me!!!!

OfPaul shouldn’t be able to criticise the corrupt?

[TepidT2O]

Should we not wait to see if there was any motive for his attack?

I can only surmise that the idea of killing a 'little old lady' makes the limp-dicked fell hard.

There was inciting rhetoric from the usual blow-hard sources on the Right vilifying Pelosi. No, I cannot explain it.

I never said that. I’d assume as a sentient human being wise enough to follow Liverpool that that is not true. However, you’re spouting a GOP attack line, one that I’ve had the misfortune to hear the disgraced former President himself waffle at his boring onanistic rallies.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/200445/reported-violent-crime-rate-in-the-us-states/

My point is that the GOP should get their own houses in order before throwing stones, but Trumpian deflection is the order of the day.

[Jiminy Cricket]

Yeah. You are right. Though, Chakan did make explicit what I only implied in my opening post about this.

Oh i'm sure they would have, but right now they don't know why he was attacked, could have been a robbery or whatever, I mean the logical jump is to the crazies who follow trump, but who knows.

A number of reasons over many years, most recently the large amounts of money she and her husband have made in stock trades while pretty clearly having privileged information. And currently trying to hold up legislation to ban stock trading by members of congress. Most in the US that consider themselves left of the Democratic party despise her as well but her husband being attacked in his home is obviously not on.

Ironically many of the Republican "law and order" types will applaud this.

My favourite city in the USA. Never felt anything other than safe when we were there just before covid

She’s a democrat and speaker and detests Trump (feelings mutual I’d assume).

[TepidT2O]

Details coming out suggest the intruder used a hammer and walked around saying “where’s Nancy, where’s Nancy”


Not good at all.  Not good.

But not surprising that she was the target given the warped state of some Trump nutjobs

well I guess that rules out robbery or something like that...

I read of the hammer earlier, but by itself, it did not better inform us of motive. But yeah, the 'where's Nancy' thing pretty much nails it.

[Red Beret]

Sounds like he went after her husband when he couldn't find her. Sickening stuff.

Will be interesting to see how Republicans - publicly at least - react to this. From a purely political viewpoint, this happening right on top of the midterms is the worst timing ever for them.

They'll react like they always do, gaslight everyone until the narrative is that it was a mental health issue and her husband was the real criminal.

And that if Mr Pelosi had had a gun, it would all have been hunky-dory

[TSC]

allowing Trump to carry on traipsing round the country at his rallies spewing lies and whipping up hate doesn’t help.

[Red Beret]

Well if nothing else, it should add further motivation to those opposed to Trump. If only he could fall out of a window - but he'd probably get stuck.

They'll think that you're disgusting for trying to politicize it,but they will pray for you.

[John C]

You sound like a Trump minion.

Do you say that because you've heard someone on a podcast say something similar very recently? Because I have there's a GOP candidate running for Mayor or Governor or something who doesn't even live anywhere near the place and has been saying it. The Dems candidate was on a pod and explained himself brilliantly.

Anyway, the perpetrator of this is probably a right wing twat and hopefully gets locked up.

I may merge this thread after a few days.

Dude ticking all the boxes.Conspiracy vids,covid,Lindell,global elites.

But of course Trump et al are not members of a global elite, perish the thought. (I’m sorry, but the thinking skills of right wing nut jobs are not just off the scale - the scale to measure such dumbness doesn’t exist).

[BarryCrocker]

That's got nothing to do with his motives.

Let's focus on it being the fault of the Democrat run city of San Francisco's where crime has spiralled out of control under their watch. This is what happens in sanctuary cities.   

[Mister Flip Flop]

Crime is out of control in America. The whole drug crisis is tearing their streets apart.

[Mister Flip Flop]

Not surprised, San Francisco has been a crime ridden city going down the shitter for years now.

The tenderloin district is an eye opener.

This sounds like an assassination attempt and I'm honestly amazed it's taken this long for someone to actually get quite close to following through (aside from Jan 6).

The US is utterly fucked. I don't know what a civil war will look like today, but I fear we'll find out before long.

[Iska]

There’s a man on attempted assassination charges in Maryland in respect of Brett Kavanaugh from June.

Trump himself in his boring self gratifying rambles says it. It’s obviously because he hates Pelosi & California hates him. There’s clips everywhere. You’re right, many podcasts carry it & mention the hypocrisy of “law & order” republicans representing the worst states for violent crime. Trump lifted the floorboards. He’s allowed people from the margins to become mainstream & normal people to be the worst versions of themselves. He has to go down.
